That's probably not a fair comparison, because I'm pretty much universally hated around here.

I think you're a cool guy. Calm and collective in your responses. Fair and just in your warnings. I have yet to see you leverage your mod status to your benefit. Maybe people's jimmies just get rustled too easily?

Oh, I was just being facetious. I don't think I'm hated any more than any other member or mod. I like to think that I've got plenty of friends here--that's why I keep coming back.

I received a profit sharing bonus of 900 Euros this month. I'd rather work for a company that gives back to its employees from the start versus having to wait/pray for the generosity of a CEO.

True this. Despite the current right wing/GOP conceit that most Americans want free handouts and charity, they simply want a fair system in the first place so that they can earn a decent living without ever needing government assistance. Unfortunately, our economic system if failing badly at this, what with wealth and income disparities not seen since the Gilded Age. Perhaps the average CEO today doesn't need to make several hundred times the salary of their company's average worker but rather settle for making perhaps a still generous 40 times that as was the case in the 1950-60s when the benefits of a company's profits and prosperity were far more broadly and equitably shared in the first place. Rather than income wealth redistribution, how about distributing it more fairly and equitably in the first place?

Perhaps the economic elites, rather than disparaging most of their fellow Americans while narcissistically luxuriating in their own magnificence, ought to get ahead of the curve and truly address these issues head on. If they don't, then eventually the majority of Americans will and perhaps in a way far less to their liking had they themselves addressed it.
